Chapter 292 Waves
“My lord, this is this month’s revenue.” Siniang handed a thick account book to Zheng Fan. There was also a piece of white paper on the account book with a few words written on it. main revenue items and some expenditure items.
Because generally speaking, Zheng Fan is too lazy to read the thick account books below. It is impossible to understand them anyway, so he can just look at the revenue.
As for whether the demon kings under his command will be greedy for his own money, Zheng Fan really isn't worried about that.
There are a total of eight of them including myself. To a certain extent, this relationship of almost a community of destiny is much more real than the so-called family members.
After taking a quick glance, Zheng Fan rubbed his eyebrows.
Compared with the huge expenditure, the so-called income really seems too small.
The entire Shengle City is like a monster that swallows gold, no longer sucking away Zheng Fan's treasury all the time.
"My lord, the main reason is that the workshop is not fully operational yet. When it is fully operational, our revenue will look much better."
I can only say that it will look much better. It is difficult for even Siniang to predict when she will be able to become self-sufficient.
It can even be said that if there are no major changes or if there is no war, this kind of loss will continue until Zheng Fan's money is burned out.
Bings, too many soldiers.
“Don’t be afraid, there should be a war soon.”
If nothing else happens, Yan’s imperial envoy should already be on the way with the Emperor’s decree. Once the peace is completed, If the contact between the two countries is successful and legal ownership is formed, it is almost inevitable for Dayan to send troops to expel the barbarians.
The only variable now is probably what choice Emperor Yan will make, whether to leave Chengguo there and accumulate strength to prepare for the next attack, or to completely capture the land of the Three Jins first. middle.
Even Zheng Fan knows that if Qian Guo is given too long a "development" and "cultivation" period, it will be really difficult to handle it in the future based on the level of Qian Guo's manpower and material resources.
But from Zheng Fan's own point of view, it is definitely better to fight against the barbarians. Without fighting, the soldiers and horses under his command will only waste money and food there every day.
“My lord, Tian Wujing’s child is really different. He is only a few months old, but he looks as lively as other children who are seven or eight months old.”
"His father has strong genes, and his mother is not an ordinary person."
This child has good physical fitness, which is really not surprising at all. In later generations, the parents of many athletes were themselves athletes.
"The Lord also has a way, he actually let Mowan watch the child, haha."
"It is normal for children to look after children. Don't worry, Mowan may get angry..."
Zheng Fan still didn't say the words "kill me",
but then said:
"But the magic pill can't attack other babies."
< br>
He hates everything in the world, but precisely because he is a child himself, he naturally has completely different feelings towards his "kind".
Of course, if the child is a child whose parents are both happy and contented, Magic Pill might take action out of jealousy, but the little Marquis’ biological mother died when he was born, and his biological father has not shown up yet, like It's like he doesn't have this son at all.
In this situation, it is easy for Mowan to feel the same way.
The most important and main reason is that it is fun to let Mowan take care of the child, no matter what you think, hahahahaha! ! !
"The slave family has gone first. Lord, I will let the blind man in."
"Okay."
This is a regular briefing meeting once every half month.
Siniang is in charge of money and food, that is to say economic development work, while Blind Man is in charge of the ideological and political work of officials and the army.
The blind man came in and delivered a list first.
This is the shooting list of this batch.
"There are so many people." Zheng Fan said helplessly.
The blind man replied:
"It's impossible to kill them all, Lord."
"I know. Huh? There are two more people named Wen here?"
Because of Wen Sutong, the Wen family joined Zheng Fan's team relatively early, so they occupy a large seat in Shengle City's system.
"Yes."
"Will killing these two affect your relationship as husband and wife?"
The blind man shook his head and said: "How can we establish our authority if we don't kill these two uncles? ? To be honest, your Majesty, my subordinates have been keeping an eye on the Wen family for a long time, but maybe it’s because Wen Sutong’s tutor is really good. Yes, I haven’t been able to find the problem. Now I finally caught it, but we must not miss it.
The power of the Wen family is too big in our city, so we need to prune the branches and leaves in advance.”
“Okay, I’ll do as you say.”
"Yes, my lord."
After sending the blind man away, Zheng Fan stood up, picked up some side dishes that Siniang had prepared in advance, walked out of the house, and came to the end of the back house.
There is a separate room there, and servants are not allowed to come here for cleaning on weekdays.
Zheng Fan opened the door and walked in. There was a coffin placed in the room.
Every once in a while, Zheng Fan would come to Shatuo Queshi to have a drink and chat.
The side dishes were placed,
Zheng Fan sat cross-legged in front of the coffin and began to pour wine.
While drinking some wine and eating some side dishes, I would like to talk about some recent events.
At the end,
Zheng Fan drank all the wine in his hand,
He sighed:
"Old Sha, tell me, it would be great if nothing happened to you and you were like a normal person."
Liang Cheng knew how to fight, but Shatuo Queshi could Sitting in the position of King Zuogu Li of the barbarian tribe, he is obviously a master with great strategy.
To a certain extent, he is really not much worse than Tian Wujing.
Think about it, now I have a sword master who watches the city gate, plus a sand tower stone from the heyday, tsk tsk, the picture is simply unbearable.
After finishing speaking, Zheng Fan packed up his things, reached out and patted the coffin lid again, saying hello to Lao Sha, and then walked out of the room.
With a slight drunkenness, Zheng Fan walked back to the yard where he lived, opened the door and walked in. He found that the young Marquis was lying in the cradle and fast asleep. When he came in, the cradle was still there. Shaking and shaking, there was a stone under the cradle.
“Ha.”
As if seeing himself coming, Magic Pill stopped rocking the cradle for his younger brother.
Zheng Fan walked to the cradle and looked down at the child. The child was really cute. Zheng Fan basically took time to play with him every day.
Squeeze your face, pat your butt, etc.
Then you imagine Tian Wujing's figure in your mind, and your bad taste is greatly satisfied.
After looking at the child for a while, Zheng Fan walked to the bed, lay on his side, closed his eyes, and prepared to take a nap.
Everyone in the city is extremely busy, but the real person in charge is able to have a leisurely time every day.
And Zheng Fan just lay down here,
In the other three places,
three people had to sit up from the bed.
One is Situ Lei who is bedridden in the Yingdu Palace.
After hearing the news that the guard general of Shaye City in the east surrendered to his two brothers at the city gate,
His Majesty the Chengguo Emperor forcibly pushed away the chamberlain and the imperial doctor and sat up.
Shaye City can be regarded as a barrier to defend Yingdu. Now that the barrier is lost, it means that the rebels led by his two brothers and the savage troops will have nothing to lose if they want to come to Yingdu.
"Come here, give me your armor!"
......
The other one is in Quhe City, because his son got married last night and was very drunk. Drunk Li Bao was forcibly shouted from the bed by his men.
Li Bao has a temper like a leopard. Ever since he broke an arm, his anger has become even more intense. After being woken up with a hangover, he was about to curse someone when he saw a father-in-law standing in front of him. There was also a yellow scroll in his hand, and the horse urine in his mind immediately disappeared. After the people around him set up the incense table, Li Bao knelt down to receive the order.
According to the imperial edict, Li Bao was ordered to lead his troops to the old capital of Jin.
…………
The third person who was called out of bed was doing some unspeakable exercises.
When the news came that the eunuch was entering the house, the woman in his arms looked very flustered.
“Don’t worry, my father already knew that I had secretly brought you back to Beijing.”
The woman beneath him is the Barbarian King's youngest daughter, and has now been taken in by the eldest prince as his wife.
The woman stood up and said nervously while helping the eldest prince to get dressed:
"Will it implicate His Highness?"
"Implicate what? No matter what you say, it's just the same. a princess, a princess, no He dared to follow me back to the capital on the premise of his reputation. My father knew it and it was too late to praise me. How could he blame me?"
"But the ancestors of Dayan once said that future generations should not be harmonious. Marriage between foreign countries and different races.”
"It's not allowed to marry your daughter out, but I didn't say you're not allowed to marry someone else's daughter. I'm wronging you."
"I'm not wronged. I'm satisfied if I can be with His Highness."
"Please bear with it a little longer, or we can work harder and get rid of the stomach problems as soon as possible, so that I can enter the palace to announce the good news to my father. In this way, your status will be "Come down."
"With a child, you can..."
"That is inevitable. My father and your father have been fighting for their whole lives, and now his son will be their old enemy. The daughter was turned over and her belly was enlarged. This was a very happy thing for the father. He would definitely tell the world and make up for the betrothal gift at the same time.
How can I put it this way? This is a way for my Highness to show off the prestige of our country and greatly boost my ambition! "
"Then our barbarian tribe and Dayan can stop fighting in the future. Can the desert tribes and the people of Dayan coexist peacefully? "
The girl's face showed a look of hope.
The eldest prince reached out and touched the side of the face of the person in the room,
smiled and nodded,
"Yes, it will definitely happen."
"That's great. If the two countries no longer use weapons, many fewer people will die every year."
"Yes, everyone will It’s great to be able to live your own life in peace.
You can rest for a while, and I will go to the front to receive the order. I should be asked to lead the troops to Jin.”
Get dressed. The eldest prince walked out of the room,
Turning around,
his face immediately darkened.
He really likes the girl in the room.
The Barbarian King is right, she is as pure as the spring water in the desert, which makes people's hearts move.
But there was something the eldest prince did not tell her,
That is his father.
It seems that he especially likes to cut off the maternal clan and wife clan of the princes.
This is something that his second and sixth brothers have the deepest experience of.
The eldest prince sighed, shook his head, and began to focus on the matter in front of him.
Obviously the Marquis of Jingnan is in the Jin region, why do you still have to lead the expedition? (End of chapter)
